Many foot problems are the result of a faulty relationship between the bones
and muscles of the foot. Misalignment can result in a number of problems,
commonly flat feet, over pronation, persistent ankle sprains, bunions, corns,
calluses and even symptoms that one would not normally associate with feet such
as stress and pain in the back, neck, hip and knees.
Orthotics, whilst they may look similar to ‘arch supports’ are special footwear
inserts that are individually designed and manufactured to ease pain and
discomfort. Based on a biomechanical assessment of your feet we send the necessary
specification to the manufacturers in the UK and they make the prescription
orthotics for you. They are made using a special lightweight and durable polymer
composite material that is so light and thin that the orthotics will easily fit
into most shoes.

As your foot sits comfortably on the orthotic it is gently and consistently directed
into the optimum position allowing the foot to function correctly when walking,
running and standing. Pressure points, bad foot posture and painful muscle strains
are eliminated because your feet are functioning optimally.
Please ask your osteopath for advice on Orthotics.
